The Weakest Link fans mortified as EastEnders star thought Cheryl named her son 'pig'

The Weakest Link fans were left in stitches after EastEnders star Clair Norris was voted off the celebrity edition of the show.

The 26-year-old star appeared alongside her seven other celebrity contestants for the festive edition of show during which the stars fought to raise the most money for their chosen charity.

She was asked a series of quick-fire questions during a pop culture round on the popular BBC One show with one question in particular which left fans in hysterics.

Stand-up comic Romesh Ranganathan whipped round the celebs who failed to answer any of the questions incorrectly until he came to the TV actress.

But when it came to Clair, Romesh asked her on the unique name Cheryl Cole gave to her first-born son with her ex-boyfriend Liam Payne.

The quizmaster asked her: “What type of animal did celebrity Cheryl Cole name her child to which she replied: “A pig.”

After the hilarious round, Romesh started the conversation by joking: “I am seriously going to start thinking about naming my next kid Pig” as the group erupted into laughter.

In her defence, Clair argued: “I couldn’t focus on the question, I said ‘Bank’ and then that was it” to which Romesh agreed.

He explained: ‘You did – you went early and then you said, ‘I think someone would name their kid Pig, and not just Pig – A Pig.”

Unsurprisingly, everyone else voted out the soap star following her humorous response on the show.

When the TV host asked fellow contestant naturalist Chris Packham why he voted for Clair to be eliminated from the show, he replied: “To save any chance that she may name any of her future children ‘Pig’.”

And it appears as though viewers at home were left in stitches following the bizarre answer too as they flooded to Twitter to share their thoughts online.

One user wrote: “I laughed so much at the ‘pig’ answer on #TheWeakestLink, I didn’t catch any of the remaining round. Quiz shows aren’t usually this hilarious.”

A third joked: Kate Winslet and Cheryl named their child after which animal? ‘Pig’.” followed by a slew of skull emojis.
